Other Uses of Vitamin E

I already mentioned the fact that Vitamin E can be helpful to prevent a heart attack or a stroke. There are other things that Vitamin E is thought to help as well.

Vitamin E is believed to help with pain, particularly menstrual pain and post menstrual pain. It can also be helpful with muscle and joint pain. There is some evidence that it may be helpful in dementia. My advice would be to take it and hopefully prevent the dementia, but there is no evidence to support that at this time. It would stand to reason however, if Vitamin E is an antioxidant, it may prevent damage from free radicals in the brain which may be the cause of dementia.

Because it is an antioxidant, you should be taking it especially if you have the flu to hlep the immne system combat the flu virus. Vitamin E is thought to enhance antibody production in the immune system.

In addition, Vitamin E is thought to help individuals with eczema and asthma. Both of which have an immune component.

You may have seen hand creams over the counter which are fortified with Vitamin E. It is believed that Vitamin E on the skin assists with healing and deceasing scar tissue formation.

Vitamin E is also essential to protect Vitamin A and C.
